And while the snow wasn’t the best we’ve seen in early December, it was the best the west had to offer. The highlight of the trip was the Big Reds at Big White. This event just gets bigger and better every year. Wines were provided by the local wineries of the Okanagan region from Kelowna to Osoyoos.

  • Helmets for Winter Sports
    Community Education Helmets for Winter Sports When child skiers and snowboarders wear properly fitting helmets, they reduce their risk of head injuries by nearly half. Helmets also reduce the chance of head injuries for sledders, ice skaters, snowmobilers and hockey players. Along with keeping children safer during winter sports, helmets provide warmth. Choosing and fitting a helmet For skiing and snowboarding: Choose a certified helmet made just for snow sports. Look for a helmet that meets ASTM F2040, Snell RS-98, S-98 or CEN 1077 standards. Proper fit is a must. If you can, have a sales person help you choose and fit a helmet for your child. Bring the goggles that your child will wear on the slopes to make sure they work with the helmet you choose. Before you buy or borrow a helmet, fasten the chin strap and make sure: • You can adjust the chin strap so that no more than 1 or 2 fingers fit between the chin and strap. • The pads are flush against your child’s cheeks For sledding and ice-skating: and forehead. Although there are no helmets designed • The back of the helmet does not touch the top specifically for these sports, the American of your child’s neck. Academy of Pediatrics advises that wearing a helmet is better than not wearing one at all. • It is snug, but not tight. Choose a helmet that meets one of the following • The helmet sits level, with the front edge safety standards: being no more than 1 inch above your child’s • Bike helmet: CPSC, ASTM F1447, Snell eyebrows.

  • Alpine Helmet Regulations
    October 2015 USSA and FIS Helmet Regulations During the USSA Congress in May 2015, the Alpine Sport Committee passed regulations updating the requirement for U14 and older athletes related to the use of helmets for GS, SG and DH meeting the new FIS standards. Following are the complete USSA helmet regulations including those changes as published in the 2016 Alpine Competition Guide. Equipment is the responsibility of the athlete and in the case of a minor, their parents or guardians. Equipment must be maintained and utilized in accordance with manufacturer’s instruction. In FIS competitions, international competition rules will apply. Helmets designed and manufactured for the particular event of ski racing being contested are required for all competitors and forerunners in all USSA events and official training. Helmets must bear a CE mark and conform to recognized and appropriate standards such as CEH.Din 1077, ASTM F2040, SNELL S98 or RS 98. The CE mark (pictured here) shall be affixed in a non-removable way on the back of the helmet in a visible location not covered by the goggle strap. Athletes U14 and older must use helmets that meet the new FIS standards for all USSA GS, SG and DH competitions. In Kombi competitions, athletes must use the helmet that meets the standards for the faster discipline being contested. Helmets must cover the head and ears. Helmets with spoilers or edges that stick out are not permitted. Protective features integral to the event being contested, such as chin guards on SL helmets are permitted. Soft ear protection is only permitted for helmets used in SL.

  • Bicycle Helmets Do Not Stop Closed Head Injuries
    Bicycle helmets do not stop closed head injuries Question: Do you find that children that have bicycle injuries are protected from head injuries if they wear a helmet? Answer: Bicycle helmets are a great means of protecting your child’s head from external damage but any hard traumatic impact will have negative consequences for the skull and brain. Although your skull protects your brain it still can move within its confines. In fact, it moves with every respiratory cycle. I find that many children and adults do not wear their helmet correctly, whether it is a bike, motorcycle, football, or a ski helmet. The helmet should be firm and snug around the skull and any straps should be pulled tight to the chin. The helmet should move with the direction of your head and not opposite or flop forward or backward. Helmet technology has grown extensively over the last ten years, developing lighter yet more shock resistant materials. The progress does nothing to prevent close head injuries unfortunately. We see numerous concussions from even mild falls with properly worn helmets. Your brain is extremely sensitive to movement. Besides the hard exterior skull it is protected by meninges, which are very strong elastic coverings of your brain and spine. Your brain and its coverings are enriched with blood supply. Trauma creates swelling which can lead to bleeding in the meninges, brain or spine. Even the smallest vessel fracture is considered a serious condition. A fracture to the skull is even more severe because it exposes the brain to an unstable state.

By Alan K. Engen ver the years, skiing has had its share of sad stories involving injury, and sometimes even death, to participants of the sport. Being an action sport, Oskiing carries an element of risk, especially to competitive ski athletes who put their safety on the line on a regular basis. Such was the situation for a young, beautiful, and very talented skier named Jill Kinmont. In January 1955, Jill Kinmont was considered one of the top women skiers in the country and had been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine. It was strongly felt by many noted ski authorities that she would be named to the 1956 U.S. Olympic Team. One of the main qualifying events for Olympic Team consideration in the 1950s was the Snow Cup giant slalom which was a nationally recognized FIS “A” level competition held annually at Alta, Utah.
